Online story: " the unemployment rate in Michigan is 9 percent, still above the national average but below nearby Illinois and Nevada, the nation's jobless leader." -- This is from Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder, who took 58% of the vote in 2010, when the unemployment in Michigan was 15+/-%. BTW, Illinois is Judas 00-bama's "state", and Nevada is Harry Reid's. Also, BTW, Snyder is a Republican. He cut business taxes, reined in unions, signed budgets earlier than previously, socked money into savings and eliminated red tape for businesses. Let's vet him and watch him.

Online story: "A Columbia University professor was assaulted on Saturday night in what police say is being investigated as a hate crime. * According to a New York Police Department source, Dr. Prabhjot Singh, who is Sikh and wears a turban and a beard, was attacked at 8:15 p.m. while walking along 110th Street near Lennox Avenue in upper Manhattan. * An unknown suspect or suspects shouted anti-Muslim statements, knocked the professor down and punched him numerous times in the face." -- "unknown suspect or suspects"? "hate crime"? How can this be when a street thug in Brunswick, GA wasn't prosecuted for a "hate crime" when he shot a 13 month old baby sitting in a stroller? Something else is fishy, too. If I were attacked, I'd know if it was just one or more than one attacker.

Judas 00-bama spoke at a memorial service for the victims of (_*_)aron (_*_)lexis. Once again he took gun laws to his bully pulpit. Wonder if 00-bama felt cheated he couldn't attack AR-15 rifles? Wonder if he thought (_*_)aron (_*_)lexia could have been his son?

Online story: "Earlier Sunday, National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre rejected any call for gun control. "The problem is there weren't enough good guys with guns," LaPierre said on NBC's "Meet the Press." -- Amen.

NY held Mariano Rivera retirement day yesterday. His number will be retired as expected, but it's different than most retirements. He was the last active player who wore #42 when number "42" was retired from all of MLB. After this season, number 42 is permanently retired ... forever.

---

Mariana Rivera will be 44 in November. Maybe we can retire another #44 by then as well.... at least from the White House.

---

I'm just curious, but all these previously uninsured people who are expected to "buy" insurance now, and get reimbursed by tax credits when they file for refunds... what makes Judas 00-bama think they will willingly pay monthly for insurance that they could have already done anyway, but haven't?

Online headline/story: "2 more GOP congressman exit immigration ‘Gang of Eight’ * Texas Reps. John Carter and Sam Johnson announced that they were leaving because they don’t trust President Barack Obama to enforce any legislation they produce." -- Hmmm,guess Texans remember when Col Travis drew "a line in the sand" at the Alamo, and expect people who draw "lines in the sand" to keep their word.

---

You know, during the dry seasons, the Rio Grande dries up to a 'line in the sand' and Judas 00-bama lets aliens cross it at will. "Lines in the sand" aren't his forte.

L-E story: "A man promoting free minutes and free cell phones near the 4100 block of Cusseta Road was robbed of his Samsung tablet and $20 Sunday, according to a Columbus Police report. * The 38-year-old victim told police he was soliciting passersby at about 2 p.m. when two men approached him, seemingly interested in his offer. Suddenly, one of the men reportedly pulled out a .38 caliber handgun and demanded his Samsung Galaxy tablet and $20. The men also took his phone." -- Guess 00-bamaPhones aren't enough... now there'll be 00-bamaTablets.

Speaking of using chemical weapons, why weren't FDR & LBJ brought up on war crime charges for "napalm"?

---

L-E headline: "At memorial, Obama says fight for gun laws ‘ought to obsess us’" -- Hmmm, as I recall in WWII, Japan opted not to put boots on the ground in the US because it felt every American already had a gun or buy one.

L-E story: "ISLAMABAD — Two suicide bombers attacked a Christian congregation in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar at the end of Sunday worship services, killing at least 78 people and critically wounding 120 others. * One of the attackers stormed the main entrance of All Saints Church in Peshawar’s Kohati Gate area, firing a pistol at police guards, killing one, and tossing a grenade, according to the city’s police chief, Mohammed Ali Babakhel. Prevented from entering the church by police fire, he detonated the 13 pounds of high explosives in the jacket he was wearing." -- Guess Muslims think all Christians are soldiers of Satan rather than civilian people of faith? Talk about PROFILING!

---

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - L-E headline/story: "Kenyan forces say they rescued ‘most’ mall hostages * Somalia’s al-Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack that specifically targeted non-Muslims" -- "specifically targeted non-Muslims"? It doesn't get any more prejudiced that this.

From L-E story: "In the 2002-2003 academic year, UGA undergraduate students paid $3,616 in tuition and fees. Today’s students pay $10,262." -- First hand know knows that $2,200.00 of that $10,262.00 (almost 21%) goes for student fees for two semesters. Can you show me how paying for or using student spas helps any grad on his/her resume?

L-E's "Quotable": “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” - Mark Twain U.S. author, humorist 1835-1910 " -- Hmmm, guess this is how liberals learned to rewrite their history as they go.. beginning in the 1990's it was Hillary who figured out if you tell thye mainstream media "I can't remember", then you don't have to tell the truth; then in 2012-13, she learned to just say, "What difference does it make?".

Parrying with Syria's ASSwad must really be frustrating to the 00-bamarats in general; he's using their political playbook against them.

---

L-E story: "The Supreme Court appears ready to lift the lid on the total amount the wealthy can give directly to all candidates and political parties. " -- Hmm, now Americans can give as much to Republicans as foreigners give to 0bamarats.

Columbus is officially on the map for something other than a Top 10 Poor or Crime Cities. Jarry was noted in today's "Birthdays" feature of the L-E. Mayor Obamalinson should send Larry Mize a cake with 55 candles on it. To Larry Mize, one of the truly "good guys"....Happy Birthday!
